From Ashes To Ashes

Dream 10/22/2017

I am in downtown Indianapolis near a swimming pool. Without warning, the Salesforce tower, the tallest building in the city, collapses and falls to rubble. Many people are dead. As I look around, I see hundreds of piles of rubble that used to be buildings.

I catch a ride with some friends. We drive through the city. As we go, a giant wave of water chases us. We almost get stuck but eventually make it out.

When we leave the city, I notice that buildings have fallen everywhere. Even in small towns. What is happening? My mom texts me, Keith, are you ok?. I text her back. We head for home. I hope it's still standing. Dream ends.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Dream 9/21/2017

     After being away, I return home to find a monstrous pile of books sitting in my driveway. Being an avid collector of books, I start going through the pile to see what I can find. I see a Goosebumps book. I make it my goal to find every Goosebumps here. I walk away for a moment and when I return, the pile of books is gone. Several people are standing outside, including many of my cousins. I find out that my dad boxed up all of the books to be taken away and recycled. I throw a quiet fit. My dad knows I am upset. In a gentle way, I let him know that I wanted to find all the good books in the pile before it was trashed. I walk away again. When I return, I see all the people, including my cousins, rummaging through the books, for me, to find the treasures (including Goosebumps.)

     The apocalypse has taken place. My family owns a decent sized farmhouse in the country. We plant trees on the outside of our fence but this isn't normal life trees, it's Minecraft trees. We put a plant in the ground and then Pop! within a second it is fully grown. We plant the trees in an unusual pattern. I hear a car driving by, which is unusual since most people in the world are dead. I flag the person down. It is a woman. She joins our household. Another day, I hear another vehicle. I flag them down. It is a married couple. They join our household as well. Our village is growing.

     My brother-in-law, Andy, and I take a drive to scavenge the town. I point out a golf course. "I like the way you think," Andy says to me. I'm thinking we could find some golf clubs in here to use as weapons. We pull up to the club house and notice that somebody is in there. Andy reverses the car and drives away, "we don't want any part of that," he exclaims. We drive into town. At one part in the town, there is a dirt bike track. I see people on it. They point our direction. I am nervous. We drive on.

     We make it to a grocery store. The store is full of shoppers. I find this odd as it is the apocalypse. Also, we have to pay for our items? That's bogus. I wanted to get the authentic apocalypse experience but now I can't because I have to pay for what I take? Andy has a food warmer on wheels and is using it as a cart. I find the Silk Almond milk. It is high on a shelf. I climb the shelf and it starts to tip. It completely falls over. I grab three cartons; chocolate, strawberry and zombie. That is literally what the carton of milk says, "zombie flavored." Andy is just ladling food into his warmer. It's looking like a jail house mash at this point. He asks if I am ready to go. I am not but I don't want to take up his time so I tell him that I'm ready. The cashier announces over the intercom that the news has predicted three earthquakes for today. What? I didn't think the news was still running. What kind of lame apocalypse is this? Dream ends.

The Lost of Us

Dream 6/28/2017

A man secretly roams an airport warehouse. In the corner of the warehouse, he takes off his shirt. On a desk, he has two safes with handles that he carries around. I don't know what is in the safe. On a shelf, there is a gray button up shirt. He changes into the shirt to disguise himself as someone else. He has been found out. They are coming for him. He flees.

On a farm, after much of the worlds population has perished, a settlement of survivors split into two groups. Jack and Kate from "Lost" go with one group, while Sawyer goes with an old lady living in the upstairs of a barn. Jack looks up at a water tower and asks, "I wonder if we can get clean water from that?"

At one point, Sawyer changes groups and moves in with Jack and Kate's group. The old woman has something she is hiding. She seems sinister in some way. Dream ends.

I wake up.

ZombieLand

Dream 3/25/2016

I roam an abandoned town with a friend. No life can be found, except for the zombie infestation that remains there. We fight to stay alive.

We search the town for survivors. We come across my friend, Sam and his wife. Our conversation with them is short. I ask them where we can find fashionable clothes and cute girls. Sam's wife tells us to look near the women's clothing store. We bid them farewell.

We search the town but cannot find the store. Dream ends.

I wake up

Apocalypse Now

Dream 11/9/2015

I overhear someone say that the apocalypse is upon us. A wave of panic washes over me. After the initial fright wears off, I critically think about what to do. I run to a store and buy as many packages of seeds as I can find. After that I decide to buy some rabbits. Dream ends.

I wake up

Much The Way

A Dream From My Past

The Apocalypse has come. Rumaging through the rubble, I come across my old hometown shopping mall. I walk through the various stores. Almost everything has been taken. I come across an old record store. A few pieces of vinyl lay on the floor. I pick up a record sleeve, wipe the dust from its face and read the records band, "Much the Way." Dream ends.

I wake up.
